defined. but outside of these two points,
there is nothing of vagueness in regard to
our fishery rights. The Canadian commits
sioner should be alive to this aspect of the
case. He should appreciate the informal
character Of the conference, the lack Of au-
thority on the part Of the American repre-
sentatives, and the clear rights Of Great
Britain under the treaty of 1918. And he
ought to recognize that the United States
has everything to gain, and nothing to lose
from the deliberations. 1t is much as IL a

then suggested the naming Of third party
